No, but I also see no colors in the build.log file. :-) I do not need any progress report, because I only care when it is finished. > Pardon, but this logic escapes me. > > > But this is already taken care > > of by koji. :-) > > As a developer, maintainer and/or packager you normally want to see what > the tools are doing, e.g. if the compiler has received the correct > flags, is using the correct libraries etc. Yes, this is already taken care of in %cmake in rawhide, it makes at least the compiler flags visible in the make.log.
